NVIDIA Demos Its Flagship GeForce RTX 4090 Topping 2.8GHz At 55C In Cyberpunk 2077
homeNews
As part of its GeForce RTX 40 announcement, NVIDIA privately demoed the cards for the press and media.
We were privy to that demo, and got to observe an RTX 4090 running Cyberpunk 2077 at its highest settings with unthinkable performance. The «point» of the demo was to show off the performance benefits of DLSS 3, but arguably the more interesting details were the clock speed and temperature of the GPU.
The demo was done via screen sharing, and NVIDIA’s representative admitted that this, along with the beta nature of the software, could have had an effect on the image quality. As a result, we’re not keen to draw any conclusions regarding the visual quality of DLSS 3 from the demo.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 demo of Cyberpunk 2077 without DLSS.
Instead, we’re more interested in peering at the hardware monitoring readout visible during the demo. As part of the benchmark, an overlay in the top corner was monitoring the performance of the game as well as the clock rates, usage, and temperatures of the CPU and GPU. For its part, the CPU in the machine was hovering around 4.
8 GHz and hitting a toasty 86°C.
The GeForce RTX 4090 GPU in the system was staying relatively cool, though. Throughout the benchmark, the highest temperature we observed was just 55°C. That was during the non-DLSS portion of the benchmark, where GPU load was the highest. That’s an impressively-low temperature considering the displayed clock rate of 2850 MHz—fully 1 GHz faster than any of the Ampere GeForce cards’ boost clocks. It seems likely that NVIDIA had the fan speeds turned way up on the card’s hefty three-slot cooler, or perhaps used a liquid-cooled model of the card.
Demo with DLSS. Note higher CPU temperatures.
NVIDIA’s DLSS 3 demo was impressive on the face of it. Using DLSS 3, the average framerate jumped from 59 FPS—already an incredible score on the ludicrously-demanding Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark—all the way up to 170 FPS. NVIDIA says that DLSS 3 in combination with its Reflex low-latency technology results in no extra latency over playing the game without either technology, which is impressive for what is essentially a smart frame interpolation technique.
Using its PCAT tool, NVIDIA offered power consumption figures for the card with DLSS on and off. Without DLSS, the RTX 4090 was pulling some 461 watts. Enabling DLSS likely caused the game to be CPU-limited (given the insanely high frame rate), and so GPU usage dropped, with power consumption likewise down to «only» 384 watts.
The performance gain and power savings in NVIDIA’s demo are absolutely fantastic, and if the image quality is acceptable, it could open the road to a new level of visual fidelity in games. That’s a big if, though, as relatively little of that «170 FPS» actually constitutes simulated game graphics, between both the image upscaling and frame generation that DLSS 3 is doing. It will be fascinating to see for ourselves if DLSS 3 lives up to the hype.

DEMO NVIDIA Linux RTX Demo is a warning shot on X86, Microsoft
NVIDIA showed off RTX Graphics running on ARM CPUs as a way to highlight the potential performance that non-X86 processors can offer consumers — and make a point, that Gaming does not require an X86 microprocessor.
There are a few caveats before the presentation (we’ll address them), but make no mistake: this is the same warning for Intel and AMD, as it’s an opportunity to learn about NVIDIA’s core prowess. nine0003
NVIDIA showed one game, Wolfenstein: Youngblood and One Tech Demo (Bistro, from the Open Exploratory Content Archive (ORCA). NVIDIA video posted for GDC (embedded below) indicates testing running RTX 3060 on MediaTek Kompanio 1200
MediaTek is generally known as a budget device developer but MT8195 looks like it has its precipitation. The SOC is built on TSMC’s 6nm process which offers higher logic compared to its 7nm node. TSMC built the 6nm node for companies that wanted to take advantage of their logical density but didn’t want to jump to 5nm and new design rules. The CPU contains four Cortex-A78 cores and four CORTEX-A55 cores with an AI processing unit that is mediocrely referred to as «APU».
The chip uses a four-channel LPDDR4X 2133, but we don’t know how wide the channels are. This is a modest chip overall, however — MT8195 hits the default maximum clock rate of 2.2GHz on Cortex-A78 cores. SOC is commonly used on Chromebooks.
We suspect this is part of the NVIDIA point. The MT8195 is not the one we would expect to see in a real underarm gaming rig. If it can run RTX Games well when paired with an RTX 3060, that implies good things about products that could come in the future.
NVIDIA has ported five specific features to Linux: DLSS (presumably used above for better performance), RTX Direct Lighting, RTX Global Global, NVIDIA DENOISERS, and the RTX memory utility. DLSS is used to improve image quality by increasing lower resolution output to higher resolutions, direct illumination supports dynamic illumination, and global illumination is used to calculate RAE bounces. Familiarize yourself with real-time real-time and RTX memory utility optimization of GPU memory usage.
nine0003
The fact that the system is running Linux (Arch Linux) throws an interesting wrinkle into it all. Windows on an ARM stand exist, but NVIDIA chose not to showcase a system running Windows. Linux isn’t usually thought of as a gaming OS, but Valve has announced that its upcoming Steam Deck will ship with SteamOS and run a range of Windows games via Proton, its fork of Wine. The Steam Deck deck relies on an AMD APU rather than an NVIDIA solution, but it’s still an interesting showcase of gaming results0003
NVIDIA is not about to crash with a major product announcement; GTC is a developer conference, more than just a consumer event. The message here is unmistakable if the key is low: neither X86 nor windows are required for high performance games.
Nvidia has more reason than most companies to downvote this post. If the company’s attempt to buy ARM is approved by regulators, it will have the opportunity to make a game to become a concurrent provider of leading GPU and CPU gaming solutions.
